I just did a PS fluid change on my 97 Honda Accord. I used Supertech PS fluid thinking that all PS fluids are the same. Lately I have noticed that there are several Honda/Acura-specific PS fluids out there.
Examples:

http://www.valvoline.com/products/consumer-products/power-steering-products/power-steering-fluid/109
So I have a few questions:
a) Do Hondas/Acuras really need a different PS fluid than other makes?
b) What is the difference in these fluids vs the regular type suitable for all other makes?
c) Do I need to purge my system of the Supertech fluid I just put in my car and use some Honda/Acura specific type of fluid?
Thanks!
